Let's face it, you wouldn't buy a new frock (or shiny new suit for the men in the audience) without nipping to the changing rooms and ensuring it fits before handing over your folding stuff now would you? And you certainly wouldn't entertain the notion of purchasing a new car without taking it for the obligatory test drive prior to exchanging your hard earned, that's for sure. So why would you risk losing any money with online bingo before trying on a few websites for size first? Exactly. You'd be mad as a bag of squirrels to even contemplate such a thought. Which is why we exist. Well, one of the reasons anyway.

Not that we're suggesting online bingo is a mug's game and that it will relieve you of your wonga faster than the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Far from it in fact, as online bingo pays out to its massive fan base on a daily basis. It's simply that you should really know what's what before you give it a whirl. Get a feel for the sites, become au fait with the surrounds and be navigationally-savvy prior to parting with your readies. The plethora of online bingo sites that have cropped up in recent years aren't here to fleece you, yet like any other form of online gambling you're better off being in receipt of the hard facts and figures; the cons as well as the pros. And you can rely on us to tell it as it is. The good, the bad and the downright ugly side of online bingo.

You'd never have guessed online bingo had a dark side (well, a few grey areas perhaps), given that whilst horse racing is renown as being the 'sport of kings', bingo in any way, shape or form was hitherto classed as the 'sport of the infirm'. We jest of course. However there's no escaping the underlying fact that once upon a time bingo was something your dear granny would submerse herself in whilst your grandfather honed his bowling prowess on the crown green. Seriously. Who wasn't dragged kicking and screaming down to their local church hall by their grandmother to observe said senior citizen go scranny for a prize that never amounted to more than a couple of bottles of cheap plonk and a box of out of date chocolates?? Or maybe your mum and dad spent many a happy hour of four at a very British holiday resort chain (Pontins, Butlins anyone?) holed up in the on-site function/activities whilst you made new friends around the swimming pool? Or is that just our sorry childhood memories?

Bingo's humble origins can be traced back to Italy, and specifically Lo Giocco del Lotto D'Italia. From Italy, the game spread to France and was known as Le Lotto, played by the French aristocracy. Bingo as we know it today gained widespread popularity during the 19th century in Germany, where its theory was used as an educational tool to teach children multiplication tables, spelling and even history. Who'd have guessed?!

Thankfully of late the whole high street image of bingo has duly received a much needed makeover, and with it the introduction of technology for what seemed the first time. 21st Century technology any road. Actual dedicated bingo establishments reared up in towns and cities across the UK offering the denizens of the sprawling metropolises the opportunity to 'make an evening of it'. 'It' being a wholly entertaining evening, where slightly more upwardly (and outwardly) mobile young folk could congregate, partake in some liquid refreshment, have a laugh and keep their eyes on the big prize. And we're talking right big prizes. And just plain big prizes for those not of a northern upbringing.

Monetary inspiration that would grow and grow until by the end of the night the bingo jackpot would spill into the tens of thousands, as a network of bingo-crazed individuals would be linked up. Imagine a sort of National Grid of mad keen bingo lingo types hell bent on getting their sticky mitts on a veritable goldmine. Indeed, much fun was – and still can be – had by all and sundry. Many a girls or boys night out, cross-generation birthday or anniversary get-together or hen/stag parties now includes a visit to the Mecca or Gala Bingo hall somewhere in the town centre, and a memorable occasion unfolds.

In 2009 though, the sky's literally the limit when it comes to the bingo prizes on offer. World of bingo please meet the world of wide web. So it did. After all, it was only a matter of time before bingo went global and connected every bingo lover with every other bingo lover, no matter where they hung their hats. Great news too for agoraphobics and virtual recluses, as online bingo means you never have to venture outside to join in the fun, as everything's available at the press of a button. Or rather the tap tapping of the not-so old QWERTY.

Where to find your free bingo games

Of course what we've neglected to tell you thus far is that we know of a way you can play online bingo for free. That's right, for precisely nowt. Zilch. Nothing. A great big fat zero. Just on the off chance we weren't painting an exciting enough mental picture for you. OK. That's not 100% accurate, but bear with us. Returning to the beginning we were banging on about giving online bingo a go for free before you commit yourself to any signing up to anything; and this much is true.

By checking out our website you'll save the time and trouble of getting bogged down in unnecessary and self-promoting sales blurb as we give you back-to-basics pointers and direction on the why, who, how, which, when and where of the free bingo world. You could call us a one-stop free bingo directory if you like, as we're here to save you the bother of browsing infinite search engine-prescribed pages just to determine what you get for your free bingo money. Or for nowt as the case will be. Do you realise simply by landing on this page opens up a cornucopia of free bingo opportunities for you to explore at your leisure in a hassle-free environment. And that's because we're impartial. We have no allegiances to any online bingo provider (which means we can say what we like about them); therefore 'bigging them up' or awarding them the damning 'thumbs down' and raspberry blowing for good measure.

On a less light note, we also suggest which online bingo games sites have gained a confidence-boosting reputation for security and customer service, and who'll maintain your confidentiality at all times. I.e, who doesn't employ Group 4 to keep tabs on personal player information. More of which will be revealed as you navigate your way around our free bingo online info-wedged site.

The game-plan of the online bingo providers is rudimentary. And possibly a little cynical to all the doubting Thomas's out there. Dangle a bit of tasty bait and reel the punters in. And to a certain extent online bingo ticks that particular box. But those with a less pessimistic outlook would translate the free bingo games invite as a complimentary starters menu, delivered 'on the house' by the online bingo provider. You like what you see and taste, you're going to want a little more. And some further choice once your appetite has been suitably whetted. And let's face facts, last time we addressed this issue it was hardly billed as a crime.

Keep looking for free bingo

Right folks, brace yourselves as we dive headfirst into the ocean of online bingo sites out there that you can splash your cash in. or rather on, given the medium. With more variety than even Heinz can muster, the head-swiveling choice of online bingo websites currently on the go almost beggars belief and needs to be seen to be believed. Seriously. Fantastic news for those of you who express a desire for a cross section of free betting options, yet conversely an absolute nightmare for the indecisive amongst you who struggle to determine what's for tonight's dinner.

Nevermind though, as if there's one thing we're good at then it's stripping perceivably complex things down to their lowest common denominator. Extracting all the needless technical gobbledegook and giving you the all important hard hitting facts and figures. The nitty gritty. The crux of the matter.

Some of the free bingo sites listed are names that will be familiar to you (Foxy, Mecca and Gala for instance), others might twig some sort of deep subconscious reflex (Party Bingo, Price Is Right Bingo), whilst some will just render your face utterly gormless (Don't fret, you're in the comfort of your own home, no one's watching).

Free bingo sites out there

Never ones to miss out on a blatant online betting opportunity, the leading bookmakers (Paddy Power, Totesport and Bet365) quickly set about offering their own tailor-made free bingo online presence, whilst a football pools legend (Littlewoods) and the megalomaniacal Virgin multimedia empire have even got a look in on the act and bankrolled an interactive platform to attract the punters. What's more, increasing fractions of the national press – alright, the tabloids then to split hairs – have jumped aboard the free bingo bandwagon recently too, the Daily Express, Daily Mirror and The Sun being just three titles keen to 'explore the opportunities' as their corporate suits might say.

So without further ado – and nabbing a bit of early doors bingo lingo – it's eyes down as we trawl through the sea of online Bingo Sites......

There's plenty of free fun to be had through online-freebingo.co.uk !
